Thanks for the tip of reviewing the download it really helps see the picture in a much more favorable form. These really are great, interesting shots. At first I thought they were overcontasted but feel differently now.


I agree with billybuzz, thanks for tip Pat.. Love the 2nd shot..

A Canon 5D Mark II takes a hit

Oh man that sucks.. Trying to imagine what was going through your head during that sequence..

I live on the North Coast and learned a long time ago to keep my camera around my neck, especially at high tide..

I use a regular strap.
Never felt threatened about being strangled.
How I "wear" it, depends on what's going on and what I'm doing.

I agree Pat.. Seems simple doesn't it?

Gess, your landscape photographs are stunning. I'm curious, if you needed to acclimatize yourself gradually to prevent Altitude Sickness?



Here are a few from Downeast Maine at or slightly above sea level!

Thank you for your very overly-generous compliments on my pics and for sharing your wonderful images with us. Altitude sickness is a little strange in that everyone is not affected by it. For me personally being acclimatized, if I read your question accurately, I've been here for over 33 years and living at live at 6000 ft or above so going on up to 12,000 to 14,000 ft. hasn't been a problem. When I first came here, going up to around 14,000 I did have some of the early symptoms which is an intense headache at the base of the skull. I'm not sure that there is a relationship with being acclimatized and suffering from it or if there is some pre-existing physiological component that plays a role although it does seem to affect people from lower altitudes more. I do feel the altitude when I go up around 10,000 ft anymore now that I'm advancing in age considerably. I feel much heavier and my balance isn't what it could be. Other than that I'm fine with it.

good explanation Gessman, I've climbed in the NW cascade Mts. most of my life and believe you are correct in that altitude sickness is much different than the shortness of breath we can all experience in the thinner air.. I've seen people get very sick almost like flicking a switch.. Two different things for sure.. I did a Mt. Hood climb with my Dad and Son a couple years ago and I could feel the thin air, but that's a different thing.. Out of shape and a few years older..

Who are you, and what do you look like?
OK, I liked this idea when I first checked it out about a week ago or so.. Very fun reading and seeing the pics of everyone, but I have always preferred the back-side of the camera and so have no pics of me.. Found one my son took last year and so now it's my avatar.. Now I can't be accused of being completely anonymous.. :)

I would just like to revisit that conversation we almost had the other day about fishing and credentials, and qualifications to talk the talk and add something I was fortunate enough to get my hands on that sort of compliments a couple of pics that were posted a few days ago in conjunction with that conversation we almost had. This one is especially for Nikron7 and Indi. It's almost enough to make a grown fisher-man cry.

EDIT: Not only Woman Angler of the Year but was 7th place
among all members in total catch!

All really wonderful shots! What a beautiful country we live in. But, I have to say that the west is trying to steal the show! So I submit some views from the finger lakes area of New York from the fall of 2010 just to add a little balance.
